UPDATE:

A 53-year-old man has been found after he was declared missing by New West police on Tuesday.

ORIGINAL:

The New Westminster Police Department is seeking the public's help to find 53-year-old Truong Dinh Vu.

Vu was last seen by family on Aug. 20, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. in his residence in the 1800-block of 8th Ave. in New West.

“We are concerned about his well-being because he recently had a stroke, and he speaks minimal English, which could make it challenging for people to offer him help,” said Sgt. Jeff Scott. “Anyone with information is asked to call us immediately.”

Vu is described as an Asian man standing 175 cm tall with a slim build and short black hair. He was last seen wearing a navy blue jacket, white pants, black shoes and a rosary bead necklace.

Anyone with information can call the New Westminster Police at 604-525-5411.
